This DM is a bit different from my other one. All that I did was to lower each of the probabilities to hit most parts of the aircraft (see Change Log). Nothing else was changed or altered.
 
Just drop in your JSGME mod folder, then activate the mod.
 
happy hunting.

IMHO This is the most balanced DM that I've played so far. So, now I have a harder time to take out enemies in multiplane dogfights. Mostly, I just hit and run to save my own craft from turning into swiss cheese. Dogfights are more satisfying and aces are a bit harder to destroy.
 
Planes can still maneuver after taking just a few hits. I believe that the reason for this is that I adjusted the probability to hit parts of the plane according to the surface area. In the stock DM, most all probabilities were set at 100%. For example, now you'll have about a 10% chance to hit the aileron instead of 100% chance. So, it's not the first thing to get hit unless you aim for that part of the plane.
 
Since I don't have a way to view the exact location or size of the damage boxes on each plane, I had to estimate where the damage boxes would be based on the name of the damage box in the xdp file.
 
Other modifications are:
 
-Inline engines have a 20% greater chance to get hit than rotaries
 
-Lower the cable hit points on all aircraft to be more or less the same
 
-Fuel leaks will start when the fuel tank reaches 20% of its hit points and explode when 45% or more of its hit points are gone. (vanilla is set to explode when all hit points are gone)
 
-Oil leaks will start when 20% of its hit points are gone and loose all its oil when 45% of it is destroyed.
(vanilla is set at 100% to destroy the oil reservoir)
 
This will be my final version unless I get a bug report from someone.
 
My contribution was only very minor, so all credits go to OBD software for their great sim,
 
Installation is through Jonesoft's Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME).
 
I still recommend to backup the aircraft folder locted at CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\aircraft just to be on the safe side.

All of these files come from the original "Bletchley's mission mods".
 
I only adjusted the mission files. So, this basically is a rearrangement of missions from the original HiTR to not only match "Bletchley's mission mods", but also to avoid the scattering of waypoints when a mission is started.
 
Now you can complete a mission using the waypoints on the map and it will be recorded as a sucessful mission. All missions will have wingmen, so no lone wolf mission types.

Use JSGME to install these files - thanks to OlPaint01.
